Episode 11 - The Age Of Wonder
from The Natural Curiosity Project · host Dr. Steven Shepard
In Richard Holmes' "The Age of Wonder" (one of the best books I have ever read), we meet the remarkable people who lived on the edge of scientific discovery--and who ultimately changed the world--during the Romantic Age. Every scientist he profiles had a best friend, and in most cases, those friends were artists, poets, authors, and dreamers. Who said the arts and sciences don't need each other?
